Ah, yeah I see where you got confused. I used retinue not in the 'Commander + Squad' sense, but rather the Terminator Commander of the Chapter, and the assembled might of it's 2nd Company.

So that'd be, what? The Commander, a dozen or so terminator veterans, plus a few more squads of 'run-of-the-mill' nigh invulnerable, champions of raw zealous fury and hatred for all things alien, armed with tank crushing gauntlets, twin-linked auto-fire rpgs, plus an assortment of heavy weapons.

Favorite Things Mr. Welch can't do during an RPG:

My monk's lips must be in sync.

Collateral Damage Man is not an appropriate concept for a super hero.

No longer allowed to recreate the Death Star Trench Run out of genre.

When accepting a challenge for a duel, I must allow the other guy time to find a pistol.

Check the door means to listen at it, not put several rounds through it.

We will not implement any plan that includes the words "And hope they miss a lot"
